Protect Critical Police Reforms in Tennessee

Tyre Nichols’ tragic death was a stark reminder of the urgent need for police reform in our communities. In response to this devastating loss, Memphis enacted critical ordinances aimed at preventing future tragedies and fostering trust between law enforcement and the people they serve. These reforms, including the Data Transparency Act and the Tyre Nichols Driving Equality Act, were essential steps towards accountability, transparency, and justice.

Now, SB2572 threatens to unravel these vital reforms and set us back in our fight for progress. If passed, SB2572 would nullify the ordinances passed in Memphis in direct response to Tyre Nichols’ death. This dangerous legislation undermines the voices of those who have tirelessly advocated for change and disregards the importance of police accountability and transparency.

We cannot afford to let SB2572 become law. We must take action now to protect the progress we have made and honor the memory of Tyre Nichols.

Please take a moment to email your Tennessee state senators and urge them to vote 'no' on SB2572. Let them know that you stand with the family of Tyre Nichols in opposing this regressive legislation and in upholding the integrity of our local police reform ordinances.

Together, we can ensure that Tyre Nichols' legacy is one of meaningful change and justice. Thank you for your dedication to this important cause.
